Hey NovaGuys & NovaChicks...

i took apart my '64 heater switch today... felt a little nasty when trying to change selections and i didn't trust it... so i thought i'd see what's inside. maybe clean it up a little.

as you can see the switch has the control cable passing through it, you'll need to be careful not to break the metal tabs... bend them up to take switch apart

here's another shot of the tabs bent up

here's what's inside the switch... a plastic limiter (so the switch won't turn continuously in a circle, a spring and a copper disc...

another shot of the disassembled switch and contacts, i don't know if you can see the terminal button contacts, but they're gummed up and dirty.

line up the plastic disc to the cover switch plate, bend over the tabs and yer good ta go ;)

Be Good !!! :D

hope this helps someone down the road ;)

due to requests i made an album with the items above and also added the pigtail schematic connecting the switch and heater assembly.

the album will be linked at www.JollyRodder.com in the "Conversions & Upgrades" section the next time i edit the site... i hope this will assist some of you with your 1st Genner.
